User blog comment:Littionary/I'm new to PBB; Any easter eggs early on in the game that could help?/@comment-31343441-20171020154055

Since the next gym is Fire-type (sorry for the spoilers), you'll need to get a good Water-type as your Chespin is at a very serious disadvantage. Marill is a fairly common Pokemon on Route 4, so run around in the grass until you find it. Use its Water typing to your advantage.

Teach the HM Cut to your Shinx until you get a better HM Pokemon. To expand upon your team, I'll leave a message on your wall as it will probably be too long to put here.
